Vegan stew

the stew and the bitterballen were tasty, but the quinoa salad and the cauliflower tempura were not that special.

The beers on the other hand are world class. I highly recommend the golden carolus imperial and the golden carolus trippel if you like strong blond beer

The dishes are quite expensive in my opinion.

Several vegan options in nice setting

The vegan stew with french fries is delicious.
The quinoa salad was not special / not creative, and too expensive for what it is; mainly quinoa with 5 falafel pieces and topped with paprika. Small dish for a main. Not creative.
I hope to try more dishes in the future.

I give 4 stars because of the nice stew, setting and service. The quinoa salad deserves less stars.

Veel keuze!

Ik nam de bitterballetjes, het stoofvlees en de brownie met frambozensorbet. Het was heel lekker, er waren per gang meerdere vegan opties en het personeel is zeer vriendelijk. Als ik nog eens in de buurt ben dan zien ze me zeker terug!!!

Eveneens een ideale locatie om met mensen met verschillende diëten te gaan eten. Vlees, vis, veggie, vegan,... Voor ieder wat wils. De allergenen staan eveneens aangeduid op de kaart.

Pros: Veel vegan opties, Lekker, Vriendelijk personeel

Tasty vegan options

They offer 3 vegan options for the main dish;
Flemish stew which is a Belgian dish. It is a meat replacer in a sauce cooked up with beer, served with fries and vegan mayo. This dish is very nice if you like to taste a typical Belgian dish.
They also offer a vegan salad and a vegan pasta with mushrooms. I also really like the pasta. It is a simple dish but tasty!
They have some nice vegan desserts on the menu too like a brownie and a veryyyy nice tiramisu.
If you like a starter, they also have vegan balls with a nice filling which is made of the stew and also typical Belgian, served with a mustard sauce. Very nice!
It is a brewery so you can order several beers and match them to your dishes.
When it is busy, the waiting can be a bit longer..

Belgian Veganized dish

The restaurant serves some vegan options but only one dish.
The dish is the famous Belgium dish, a Belgium staple. The taste was good.
In addition, the servers were very kind, however, due to the big crowd, the service was very slow…!
And also because we were 7, we were only able to choice between 4 different dishes. A pity since some of the people from the table has specific requirements and needs.

Cons: Few vegan options, Slow service

Vegan food in a brewery

It feels like quite a traditional place but they have understood the need for vegan options. There aren't many but what they do is very good.

Pros: Amazing beers, Vegan versions of Belgium food, Accommodation available

Cons: Busy so safest to book

Authentic and SO GOOD

A must-visit if you are in the area! Traditional Belgian stew with vegan chicken.
All dishes have their brews incorporated, which is so cool. And the stew was DIVINE. Highly recommend.

Heerlijk!

Enkele vegan opties, waaronder vegan stoofvlees met veganaise en als dessert vegan speculoos tiramisu en vegan appel beignets. Met 3 carnivoren en 2 veganisten heerlijk kunnen tafelen. Vriendelijke service en snelle bediening. Nog een groot pluspunt; karafjes met kraantjeswater op tafel. Super!

Pros: Vegan opties, Vriendelijke service, Water karafjes op tafel

Great vegan Flemish stew!

So much fun experiencing taditional Belgian cuisine but then veganised! Loved it. Great touch is the fact that most dishes use the local beer. It was very busy in a Monday night but the food came quickly. Wonderful traditional, authentic Belgian experience where both vegans and non vegans can enjoy a lovely meal.

Pros: Many vegan/vegetarian options, Everything is clearly labelled , From starters to desert!

Cons: Noisy

Flemish seitan stew with Gouden Carolus Classic: a great choice

When I make Flemish seitan stew at home, I also usually make it with Gouden Carolus Classic. Here, they also added some other ingredients or spices than I usually use, which made it interesting for me. This is a traditional Flemish dish turned vegan as it should be. I liked the stew a lot and would definitely recommend it, especially with a glass of Gouden Carolus that goes along with it. Also, the vegan tiramisu is a must try: it's made with Gouden Carolus Single Malt whisky, speculoos cinnamon cookies, almond milk and cocoa butter, which is such a great combination of flavours: just heavenly!👌

Pros: Best vegan stew, Plant-based fries with veganaise, Heavenly vegan tiramisu

Beer tasting and stew

You can taste the different types of Gouden Carolus there, which is nice, but the vegan stew is not worth the price of 18€

Pros: Gouden Carlous beer tasting

Cons: Expensive vegan stew
